London:
Indian women, who are shy to step out in skimpy bikini, can now look elegant yet
cool while relaxing poolside or by the beach thanks to the bikini sari. Delhi’s first swimwear
designers Shivan Bhatiya and Narresh Kukreja have designed the traditional, flowing robes
that shows a hint of flesh but still covers up the body. They have become an instant hit among
Indian women who are prepared to shell out up to 450 pounds for the unique garment. “Indian
women have the best bodies in the world and are also the
most shy about them,” the Daily Mail quoted Kukreja told The Sunday Times. “Our
swimsuits aim at bringing them out of their shell. “It got a good response from
women who are going to nice fancy cocktails, on their honeymoon or to beach weddings
which are the new rage in India ,” he said. Swimsuits are still considered provocative
despite women often wearing skimpy outfits on night outs. Mamta Sharma, head of
the government’s sexual equality commission, had asked Indian women earlier this
month to dress sensibly to avoid being indecently assaulted. “Breezy semi fluid
fabrics such as silk chiffon, crepes and silk lycra in hues like bright orange,
tangerine, sunshine yellow, apple green, candyfloss pink and off white are perfect
for the cruise line,” designer Pria Kataaria Puri added.
